just went through and read and commented on ALL the posts and my hunch was right that it takes all of us to truly describe and touch on patriarchy. what a complex subject!! it was so good to hear the reflections of each of passenger who wrote on the topic because each of us are from differing walks of life, different genders, and socioreligious pasts. truly fascinating and my grey matter was sparked many times. thanks everyone for the very thoughtful, engaging posts on a complex matter!! love you all! @solarsupermama, @vanglov, @trucklife-family, @eco-alex, @misslasvegas, @sharoonyasir, @sashagenji, and last but not least @clara-andriessen who originated the question. <3
